UFJ Launches Multilingual ATMs, Direct Money Transfers to Brazil
UFJ Bank customers can now gain access to multilingual automated teller machines and remit money to Brazil with the assistance of a Portuguese-speaking operator via an in-house video phone.
The money remittance service, the first of its kind, was launched at 10 UFJ branches in Shizuoka, Aichi, Gifu and Mie prefectures on Dec. 20 in partnership with Brazil’s largest commercial bank, Banco Bradesco SA.
The new service enables direct transfers between UFJ and Bradesco accounts.
About 200,000 Brazilians of Japanese decent live in the four prefectures.
In a related move, UFJ modified about 4,500 of its ATMs Wednesday to improve access for non-Japanese customers.
Customers can now access ATMs in English, Chinese, Korean or Portuguese.
